Frank delivers motivational plea for struggling Tottenham

Thomas Frank stated on Monday that Tottenham must grasp the seriousness of their position to end a seven match winless streak in the Premier League when they face Newcastle on Tuesday.

Spurs are positioned only six points clear of the drop zone in 15th place.

Frank has received temporary reprieve from the club directors up to now, yet he made no attempt to minimise his teams urgent need for only their third victory at home in the league this term.

"Without question, we are eager to secure victories," remarked the Danish manager during his pre game media briefing.

"It is essential to feel that urgency. Lacking that drive means failing to comprehend the current circumstances, regarding insufficient triumphs and the necessity to claim more points in matches.

"This is precisely what we desire for the supporters, the players, and the entire organisation."

Throughout his challenging debut campaign at the helm, Frank has endured ongoing demands from discontented Tottenham followers for his dismissal.

However, hampered by numerous injuries in the lineup, he urged the crowd to offer the vital backing required to alleviate concerns over a potential fight against relegation.

"In tough times when progress is not smooth, the support from fans becomes even more crucial," Frank continued. "Tomorrow, we require their full encouragement to rally behind the squad."

With limited choices already, Frank must now cope without skipper Cristian Romero for four fixtures following his ejection in Sundays 2-0 loss to Manchester United.

Destiny Udogie sustained a hamstring problem during that encounter, sidelining him for as long as five weeks.

Romero faced backlash for receiving the sixth dismissal of his Spurs tenure shortly after voicing strong criticism towards the clubs hierarchy for inadequate reinforcement efforts during the summer window.

Nevertheless, Frank supported the Argentine stars approach to discipline.

"A performer who competes with intense passion and vigour may occasionally face such incidents," explained the ex Brentford head coach.

"This does not excuse the need for improvement. Naturally, he ought to take lessons from this moving ahead."
